The Tamiment Library contains some of the most important collections in the United States relating to labor and social history [labor collections], the history of the Left, the place of the worker in American society, the evolution of labor law, women's history, immigrant history, and much more.


Abstract:  The Tamiment Library has a non-circulating collection of more than 50,000 books focusing on the history of labor, politics, political thought, literature and the arts. The collection includes more than 15,000 non-current serial titles: labor union convention proceedings, union journals, strike bulletins, underground newspapers, internal bulletins of radical organizations, and scholarly journals in labor and radical history. Holdings are particularly strong in titles indexed by the Alternative Press Index, Left Index, and Work-Related Abstracts.
The Library's pamphlet and ephemera holdings (some one-million items) are largely housed in a vertical file containing broadsides, leaflets, manifestoes, and reports generated by a wide spectrum of labor and left-wing organizations. Collection strengths include: the history or labor, trade unionism, radical politics, the struggle for civil liberties, civil rights, and women's history.
The Tamiment Library contains some of the most important collections in the United States relating to labor and social history [labor collections], the history of the Left, the place of the worker in American society, the evolution of labor law, women's history, immigrant history, and much more.
Tamiment preserves the history of working-class New York: its neighborhood associations, fraternal and ethnic societies, political organizations, and the unions that shaped the social and economic structure of the City.
